Details of our Artists

Yuriko Morita

Yuriko Morita spent her childhood with her family in Kurihashi on Honshu where her father was a keen amateur artist and an early influence on her. She emigrated to England in 1972 and took a degree course in Graphic Art from which she graduated with first class honours. She has since had work exhibited in London galleries and has contributed to many European private collections. Her work has the subtle draughtsmanship and colour harmonies associated with the best Japanese art whilst the delicate symbolism has been toned by western influence to provide a unique and literally enchanting style. Yuriko's commitment to 'The light of spiritual power' is reflected in her art and one will find that the mystical quality of her images, far from palling, becomes more compelling with deeper perusal.

Haruyo Martin ne. Morita

A contrasting and complementary style is provided by the more traditionally based but distinctive work of Haruyo. Haruyo Martin was born about thirty miles from Tokyo and discovered her love of painting in infancy. She excelled at art throughout her school life and subsequently achieved critical acclaim and an outstandingly successful career designing and printing silk kimonos. During this time she also won a national Japanese art competition before emigrating to England. The appreciation of her skill in London has led to many exhibitions, one of the more recent being at the royal festival hall. She was also asked to paint a series of murals for a St James's club which led to a great number of influential private commissions. Haruyo's work is founded upon conservative Japanese painting with bold images and beautifully orchestrated tonal variations overlying an almost enigmatic conceptual content. Her individual interpretation of this essentially traditional art form produces paintings of exquisite harmony and universal aesthetic appeal

In 1886, Charles Neilson, left his home in Pitlessi Scotland, for the scotish capital. Because he tended to keep a sketchbook, much like many a Victorian gent kept a diary, we have a pictorial representation of some of his travels during the years 1887-1898. Working mostly in watercolour, a large amount of his works were destroyed in the San Franciscan Quake of 1905? but fortunetly we still have a number of early sketchbooks and originals from the time after his return to the British Isles in 1911. Settling first in Wales and eventually in Sandwitch in Kent, where he died in 1937 having fallen off a roof he was repairing,
